How It Works
Tacrolimus works by calming overactive immune responses in the skin. In conditions like vitiligo, the immune system attacks pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). By reducing this immune activity, tacrolimus helps create a healthier environment for melanocytes, supporting gradual repigmentation over time.
